In October 2008 one hundred delegates from the anti-war and peace movements from sixteen countries met in Germany to plan protests at NATO's 60th anniversary conference from the 2nd to the 5th April 2009. Then in February this year, 500 delegates from nineteen different countries met in Strasbourg to further prepare the 60th anniversary activities, and agreed a programme including an international camp, counter-summit, demonstration and civil disobedience.
The call for the protests is extremely timely. NATO has become the key vehicle for the US and its allies to pursue their wars. The push for NATO expansion was the main cause of the conflict in Georgia. NATO is taking the lead in the disastrous occupation of Afghanistan.
The meeting pledged to bring together all the different strands of opposition to war and militarism in the biggest possible series of protests Events will include direct action, civil disobedience, a counter conference and a mass demonstration on Saturday 4th April. The conference produced the following call for the protests. We are asking all our supporters to distribute it and get as many organisations as possible to back it.
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the War Coalition are backing the protests. We will be organising transport and mobilising as widely as possible.
